19:17 Yeshua is hung on a stake

(Mat. 27:32-44, Mark 15:21-32, Luke 23:26-43)

17 Carrying the pole[fn] himself, Yeshua arrived at the Place of the Skull (called Golgotha in Hebrew) just out of the city 18 where they secured him to a stake along with two others—one stake on each side and with Yeshua on the middle one. 19 Pilate wrote out a title and put it on the stake: Yeshua from Nazareth, the king of the Jews. 20 Many Jews read this title because the place where Yeshua was executed was near the city, and it had been written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. 21 But the Jewish chief priests complained to Pilate, “Don’t write ‘The king of the Jews’, but rather ‘The one who said he was king of the Jews’.”

22 However Pilate answered, “What I’ve written, I’ve written.”

23 After the soldiers had fastened Yeshua to the stake, they took his clothes and placed in four piles, one for each of them. This left his robe, which had been woven from top to bottom in one piece. 24 So they said to each other, “Rather than tearing this, let’s throw a dice to see who will get it.” (This fulfilled what was written in the scriptures[ref] that said: they divided my garments among themselves and threw a dice for my clothes.) So they went ahead and did that.

25 Meanwhile a group of women had stayed standing near Yeshua on the stake: his mother and his aunt, Maria the wife of Clopas, and Maria from Magdala. 26 When Yeshua saw his mother and also the intern that he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Look, he’ll be your son.” 27 And to the intern he said, “Look, she’ll be your mother.” And that intern took her into his own home from then on.

19:17 TD: The Greek word used here is used in other places to mean a stake such as used to make a fence. It’s uncertain whether or not it had a horizontal cross-piece, although the Romans did use a range of methods.

19:24: Psa 22:18.

17 And bearing the stake to _himself, he _came _out to the place being _called:
place Of_the_skull, which is _being _called In _Hebraios, Golgotha/(Gulgolet), 18 where they _executed _on _a _stake him, and with him two others, on _this _side and on _that _side, and the Yaʸsous in_the_middle.
19 And the Pilatos wrote also a_title, and put on the stake.
And it _was having _been _written:
Yaʸsous the from _Nazaret, the king of _the Youdaiōns.
20 Therefore this the title many of _the Youdaiōns read, because the place was near of _the city, where the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) was _executed _on _a _stake, and it _was having _been _written In _Hebraios, In _Latin, In _Hellaʸn.
21 Therefore the chief _priests of _the Youdaiōns were _saying to_ the _Pilatos:
Be_ not _writing:
The king of _the Youdaiōns, but that that one said:
I _am king.
of _the Youdaiōns.
22 The Pilatos answered:
What I _have _written, I _have _written.
23 Therefore the soldiers when they _executed _on _a _stake the Yaʸsous, took the clothes of _him, and they _made four parts, a_part to _each soldier, and the tunic.
And the tunic was seamless, from the_ top _parts woven through all.
24 Therefore they _said to one _another:
We _may_ not _tear it, but we _may _choose _by _lot for it, whose it _will _be, in _order _that the scripture may _be _fulfilled which saying:
They _divided the clothes of _me to _themselves, and they _threw a_lot for the clothing of _me.
The therefore on _one _hand soldiers did these things.
25 On _the _other _hand the mother of _him had _stood by the stake of_ the _Yaʸsous, and the sister of _the mother of _him, Maria/(Miryām) the wife of_ the _Clopas, and Maria the from _Magdala.
26 Yaʸsous therefore having _seen his mother, and the apprentice/follower having _stood _by whom he _was _loving, is _saying to _the mother:
Woman, see, the son of _you.
27 Thereafter he _is _saying to _the apprentice/follower:
Behold, the mother of _you.
And from that the hour took the apprentice/follower her to his own.

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
